The Duel
In the olden days, men settled scores with duels. They would shoot each other and whomever won, won the argument.
Now days we pretend to be men, it because of stupid made up shit like laws and etiquette and maybe a little bit of ethics, we deal with our dissatisfaction with others on the internet.
What is really the ethical dilemma with ending a person’s life? At the end of every person’s life, if they don’t forget, they die. That is going to be the outcome anyways.
A lot of our State’s condone killing someone in the event they break the law in a really disgusting awful way, but if John Smith says something about my mom, I can’t drive a sword through his heart.
Merely winning at fist to cuffs, which is a marvelous effort, but it doesn’t exactly capture the satisfaction that you wanted to get when you put your dukes up. Death is the only way.
When mankind was young and was closer to the earth, the Gods were more than happy to have their worshippers strike down and erase an entire populations of those that worship another God. We were built for two things, reproducing and killing those that are a threat to our survival.
There are some that say that the young are weak and demasculated, but it was their parents and grand parents who turned us into babies by making dueling to death illegal. They actually made a good old fashion fist fight illegal. The young isn’t soft, it is just illegal to be awesome now.
Now that technology takes care of all our needs, we don’t find as many threats to our survival, but plenty of threats to our ego, our survivalist’s new stand in. Our new Gods, our egos, demand we erase this threat to our way of life off the face of the earth and reap the rewards of that person no longer existing.
We live too long as it is and our young live like there is nothing to worry about for 60 to 80 years. This is the very reason the young are so pitiful and entitled. Only those that actually fear death have a real grasp on life. The Duel would bring back that fear of death to those that are now comfortable.
It would also make the strong stay alive to breed and make stronger smarter babies. The weak would either cower away from duels or die.
Many people I know use Facebook to complain that there isn’t a lot of meaning in the world. They see the plight of those that are so unfortunate, but don’t understand what to do. They get in written arguments online to try and find some shred of purpose for being here. This would be simpler if it was literally a murder or be murdered situation over wether red or blue is better.
You might have won the argument, but the chances are high that the other person wasn’t convinced and changed their entire way of thinking because of your smart wit. No, only death can really change anything really.
I know that some people find guns to be an abhorrent tool, so daggers, sabers, maces, epee, or a foil can also be used. I find hatchets to be a delightful dueling weapon.
I mean is murder so wrong?
